Our first meeting may have been odd, but it still ended on a good note.
But still, what an odd Daemon, and that's me saying that.
Rimuru ended up shutting down Diablo's proposal to deal with Hinata, that would ruin all chances of having a positive relationship with the Holy Church after all.
After some discussion it was decided for Tempest to take a wait and see approach, no reason to agitate the Holy Church if they mind their own business.
Afterwards Rimuru told everyone of our plan to push the blame for everything off Tempest and onto Falmuth.
They would claim that due to his greed the King of Falmuth sent an army to Tempest, started a war, and then lost.
Tempest wouldn't say that Rimuru alone defeated all the soldiers, but rather Tempest's army was able to beat Falmuth's, this is far more believable after all, most people in this world couldn't even imagine the kind of strength needed to wipe out a city, let alone what Rimuru and I are capable of now.
Then they would say all the casualties caused due to the war was enough to break Veldora's seal, reviving the Evil Dragon Veldora.
Then comes in the new puppet king of Falmuth Rimuru is trying to enstate.
They would claim that Youm, a human adventurer, was able to calm Veldora down and honored him as the Guardian of Tempest, setting the foundation for his eventual takeover of Falmuth.
Veldora was willing to take the blame so there weren't any issues with the plan.
After some more discussion the meeting soon ended.
Tempest ended up establishing diplomatic relations with the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion, along with an agreement for a future discussion with Arcueid and I after the Walpurgis.
Rimuru and I ended up having a private meeting a little bit later to make sure we were both ready for the Walpurgis.
"Man, is this food good Rimuru, I'm gonna miss it."
"Umu! Tempest has been working hard in order to perfect our crafts, I can send someone over to teach your guys about it at some point if you want."
"Yeah, that'd be great, there are some interesting dishes you can make from monster meat as well."
"Yup, we've been experimenting with them. Ugh, I'm still not able to make Soy Sauce though."
"You Japanese and your Soy Sauce."
"Hey! Soy Sauce is great!"
"I never said it wasn't just that you guys take it to the extreme."
"Ah well whatever you American. Oh yeah! What was that earlier you were saying about being from different earths?"
"Hmm? Oh that, remember I told you I died, reincarnated, then died, and got reincarnated into a Daemon?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, I was reincarnated on a different earth, things were different there, for one I was reincarnated in the past, then there is the fact that I'm pretty sure I was reincarnated in a fictional world from my first life."
"A fictional world! Like an anime?!"
"Yup, it was called Jujutsu Kaisen, did it exist in your world?"
"Jujutsu Kaisen? No, never heard of it, though it might have come out after I died."
I make a copy of the manga and hand it to him.
"I see, here check this out then, I never got to finish the manga but that should give you the general gist of the world."
"I see, thanks, we should share our collection, umu, we can discover even more manga that way."
"Yeah, I can make a copy of everything I got at some point, though make a copy of your collection for me, I'm interested in your world's manga."
"Umu. Still, it's hard to believe that you were born in a fictional world, makes me see things in a whole new perspective. Maybe we are in some LN or manga."
"Who knows, I just chose to ignore it, easier that way."
"Yeah, I think I'll do the same. By the way, Milim said you can take two subordinates to the Walpurgis."
"Two of them huh? That'll make things a bit easier, hmm who should I take though, Diablo already has a mission so he's out, who are you taking?"
"I'll probably take Arcueid, she's good at those kinds of things."
"Not Saeko? She's going to whine about it."
"Sigh, yeah I know, it'll be fine though, I don't want to take just one out of Raiden and Saeko, so I'll have them go secure Jistav for me, maybe I'll even send Kurumi with them. Do you mind sending Souei and Hakurou along to temper Saeko's actions?"
"Umu, that's fine. Hmm, I think I'll take Ranga, and Benimaru."
"I see, they are pretty strong, I'm pretty sure Benimaru on his own could wipe the floor with Clayman. Also, what are you gonna do about Veldora? He is going to want to come."
"Hopefully I can distract him with manga, he should be busy reading all the new manga you gave him for a while."
"That's true."
We ended up chatting for a few hours before we went to our own respective homes to rest.
___________________________________________________________________
Milim showed up a day after the meeting with everyone.
I felt her aura approaching so I ended up waiting for her outside my home, it didn't take long for her to arrive in her normal fashion, by creating a crater where she lands.
"Hey I have news! The Walpurgis over replacing Clayman, has been set for one day from now!"
"Ugh, can you stop landing like that Milim? Always a pain to get it fixed. I'll also have to let Rimuru know that the Walpurigs is in a day since he wants to attend, he's already on his way here it seems."
"Mwahahahaha, of course not that just isn't my style!"
"Arcueid, I am still lacking my second, I know I asked you to hold off earlier, but can you find Yellow or Violet for a meeting, and can you also bring that Daemon that you recommended for Milim?"
"At once Master." She immediately flies off.
"Haha, I can finally have my own attendant, Umu, Ramiris is going to be so jealous!"
"Nope one of the Dryads requested a body able to leave the forest from Rimuru so they could seek out their queen a while ago, they have probably already met as Rimuru informed the Dryad of the location of the Labyrinth and teleported them a good way there."
Speaking of Treyni, I managed to analyze what Rimuru did in order to allow her to move more freely. He ended up making a Pseudo Soul of sorts to house her core. This allowed her to create an Avatar of sorts that she can use to go with Ramiris everywhere.
It basically transfers her soul into a new core that forms a new Spiritual and Material body.
An interesting piece of technology.
"Gah! Well my subordinate will still be better!"
I already feel bad for Milim's future subordinate, poor Daemon got given a death sentence and he doesn't even know.
Hopefully the Primordial Arcueid brings is reasonable, at least this way I can get to know whoever she brings before I decide to take them as a subordinate.
It's probably best to know if she can be a good subordinate or not before I end up naming her, I got lucky with Arcueid. Primordials are dangerous enough without a name I can't have a named one being insubordinate, that's a recipe for chaos.
Soon enough Rimuru arrives, "Gah! Milim, could you stop causing property damage every time you come over?!"
"Mwhahaa, Felix just said the same thing!"
"Don't even bother Rimuru, she's a lost cause."
"Yeah, you don't have to tell me, so what brings you here Milim? Are you here just to see Felix?"
"The Walpurgis is going to start soon! I came since I wanted to go with Felix, he said that you wanted to come?"
"Umu, I am going to become a Demon Lord so that Tempest isn't attacked again."
"Yay! I can have three Demon Lord buddies, we can prank all the other Demon Lords!"
"Oh, I'm listening? What sort of prank do you have in mind?"
"Oi Felix! There will be no pranking at the Walpurgis, this will be a serious meeting!"
"All the more reason to liven it up with some good fun!"
"Umu, what Felix said!"
"Uh, these two are gonna be the death of my peaceful life."
We ended up arguing about all sorts of things until the end of the day, we didn't have anything else to do after all, I bet both Rimuru and Milim just dumped all their work on their subordinates.
It's been a few hours since Arcueid left and I finally felt her aura approaching, along with two other far less powerful auras, though one is far larger than the other.
The larger aura must be the other Primordial she brought.
The weakest one appears to be of the White Lineage, likely Milim's to be minion.
Hmm the other one has blonde hair so she must be Jaune the Primordial of Yellow
She suddenly just sped up, uh not another Milim please! Damn it, she just cratered the ground in her landing. Why is she pointing her finger at me?
"Nuclear Strike magic!" Gah it really is another Milim… well I might as well subdue her as she seems the type to ignore logic and prefers strength
"Go right ahead and fire it off at full power!" Might as well show her how pointless it is.
Ugh, her smile only grew, damn battle maniacs. Thankfully due to 'Ouroburos' the attack just appears to stop midair.
She looked surprised at first, but she only fired more and more destructive Nuclear Magic at me. Each one failing to approach me due to 'Infinity'.
Hmm, maybe I should just beat her up? This is taking too long.
"Gravity Increase" I rapidly increase the pressure, at first she brushes it off, but soon enough she starts struggling. Then at last she is pancaked to the ground.
"Have you had enough yet?"
"No! Stop using cheap tricks!"
Sigh, how pointless.
"Then I shall speak your language." I point my palm at a mountain range to the west I can sense with only monster life.
"Crimson-black blaze, king of myriad worlds, though I promulgate the laws of nature, I am the alias of destruction incarnate, in accordance with the principles of all creation. Let the hammer of eternity descend unto me! Explosion!" I use the chant for amusement and even had Odin make it so the spell effect perfectly mimics the Konosuba spell.
'Notice. This is a waste of my power.'
'Hush, no it isn't'
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
And half the mountain range is gone
